Flights have resumed at Robin Hood Airport in Doncaster, after a plane that crash landed on the runway was cleared away.

A flight from Belfast had difficulties with its undercarriage yesterday evening while attempting to land.

After the crash, all flights from the airport were grounded, including those to a host of European destinations and the Mediterranean island of Ibiza.

Air investigators inspected the aircraft at the airport this morning.
